the 101 HK aura is obviously the best one to use as it adds the most patt/p crit damage, as said anything that boost those even if it's just a little helps as many small tweaks can add up to quite a difference.

2 simple obvious examples would be: - use bless epics, either real or shadow versions as bless valakas adds alot to patt/STR and crit damage increase of lindvior earring is quite noticable when stacked with the aura- use STR dyes for patt and skill effects, STR/CHA dyes for even more boost - it's small but again it all adds up

AP set up for PVE should be very obvious?4x HP / 4x Patt / 2x Acuracy for rampage shield passive / 2x both crit options / 2x elemental patt <= all of these are in the Warrior branch

blunts are only better if u run around with sos else u'll be forced to compensate for the crap crit rate but hey some ppl are fine with not having max crit rate and don't say tauti ring cause that's only good for pvp
